Oh I dug up the 5 year old posts from SVrider from the ex hubby and it looked like the rear shock was redone by svraceshop. They did say that the stock gixxer shock is too soft?? Is that true? I don't remember having issues on bolting the shock on except that we had to cut part of the box where the battery sit. What is the advantage of a zx10 shock?
Also its lower by 5mm which isn't a bad thing since I have height issues, I can compensate for the difference raising the forks? Uhhh looks like the mods were made for him while he told me otherwise! DOH! http://forum.svrider.com/showthread....ghlight=ejl127 |

The difference is that the resevoir on the zx10 shock is at 90 degrees to the shock while the GSXR is at approx 45 deg. With the zx10 shock, the only thing you have to do is remove the worthless piece of plastic in front of the tool kit storage. I have no idea what purpose this little thing has, but just chuck it. The shock then fits snugly under the battery box. No cutting required. Truly the hardest part of the entire process is getting to the screws that hold the plastic piece on.

I'm getting ready to have my suspension redone and looking into the fork rebuild because my SV feels like i'm running over railroad ties a lot when i'm cornering.
But I gotta take care of an oil leak from some jackass who didn't know how to change the oil. grrr shoulda just done it myself. And gotta replace break pads which will prolly happen the same time i start on the forks. |

Thats what I was thinking, if the Gixxer shock stock is fine then I can just do a swap instead of repsring etc? I think the one we redid was more for Evan's weight. Tommymac should have a spare.
